Notes
Expert Tips:
Cut the vegetables the same size to ensure they cook at the same rate.
Remove the pan from the heat before using the immersion blender to prevent the hot soup from splashing.
If using a blender, use one designed for hot liquids. And if you have a large quantity of hot liquid to blend, do it in batches so it doesn't overflow.
